not sure cas. im grade 2 unless i get re-graded this season. mainly premier A and 1st division id say but hopefully the odd premier game. i have a lot of experience now and will certainly be looking for the big games as they are the ones you want. i like to think im a good ref anyway and its certainly the vibe im getting back from teams and players. then again they are hardly going to slate you to to your face.
having played all my life common sense comes would be a big factor for me and keeping cool and calm. i dont mind player frustration one bit unless it over steps the mark and turns to abuse. you just make it easy for a ref by telling him to f**k off or call him a name.
i am aware that fellas train all week and are busrting a gut on a sunday morning so i try keep that in mind and give fellas enough rope. its up to them whether they hang themselves with it or not.
communication with players is key as well for me. its easy let a fella know what your decision is for or go back and have a chat when there is a break in the play. i like to let it flow if i can as you can always bring it back.
im rambling now. lol. talking about biigin myself up like. lol. ill probably end up having a nightmare if i have ye.
